Using either Video game/Virtual Reality and/or The Most Interactive Computer (Patented by Gerard Voon), we can offer Meditation and Yoga, whereby the User chooses his style and master, the experience can show a cross-section (maybe a simulation) or maybe florescent smoke and using colour internal sensor observe where and how the air intake and out take is performed for each posture as well as the direction, sped and changing direction and speed at what points and at what rate which muscles are stretches and which support the body's own weight and which keep in locked balance (bridge) (eg. the video can high light the specific muscles and their area and amount of required role for the various postures).   We could surround the backdrop with candles, Tibetan chanting, under cold water falls, running with fellow monks, uncovered feet and light monk's garment, walking in the snow and ice.   We could also have a tread mill with screen(s) for exercise walking/running in nature, or between Vertical Reality golf course swings so VR golfers can get scenic exercise.   We could also create Virtual Reality shopping Malls (indoors or facing a boardwalk on the beach). Each scroll is a step - speed scroll is available and/or sort the mall by (type eg.  fashion, newly created - newly modified, popularity, size and name), Once you have chosen a store you are first faced with the top most popular items, and items on sale. And browse by type items leading clues as to types of items include key words that are keys to defining the item by its characteristics, eg. sweater wool. We could use face recognition program together with a good taylor's experienced touch to fit fashion retail clothing. We could customize the various parts, for example flaring collars or thin collars, material, colour.

Patent CA-2637199-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LI JIANZHONG
IPC: G01N33/18
Filed: 2006-12-13
Abstract: A practical sequential injection/zone fluidicsbased analyzer that measures waterborne arsenic is capable of differentiating between inorganic As(III) and As(V). The principle is based on generating AsH3 from the sample in a confined chamber (10) by borohydride reduction at controlled pH, sparging the chamber to drive the AsH3 to a small reflective cell (70) located atop a photomultiplier tube (50), allowing it to react with ozone generated from ambient air, and measuring the intense chemiluminescence that results. Arsine generation and removal from solution results in isolation from the sample matrix, avoiding the pitfalls encountered in some solution-based analysis techniques. The differential determination of As(III) and As(V) is based on the different pH dependence of the reducibility of these species to AsH3. At pH < 1, both As(III) and As(V) are quantitatively converted to arsine in the presence of NaBH4. At a pH of 4 ~ 5, only As(III) is converted to arsine. In the present form, the limit of detection (S/N = 3) is 0.05 µg/L As at pH <=  1 and 0.09 µg/L As(III) at pH ~4 ~ 5 for a 3-mL sample. The analyzer is intrinsically automated and requires 4 min per determination. In a further embodiment, electrochemical reduction at Cd cathode is used instead of NaBH4

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, novel gene deletions and translocations involving chromosome 2 resulting in fusion proteins combining part of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) kinase with part of a secondary protein have now been identified in human solid tumors, e.g. non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Secondary proteins include Echinoderm Microtubule- Associated Protein-Like 4 (EML-4) and TRK- Fusion Gene (TFG). The EML4-ALK fusion protein, which retains ALK tyrosine kinase activity, was confirmed to drive the proliferation and survival of NSCLC characterized by this mutation. The invention therefore provides, in part, isolated polynucleotides and vectors encoding the disclosed mutant ALK kinase polypeptides, probes for detecting it, isolated mutant polypeptides, recombinant polypeptides, and reagents for detecting the fusion and truncated polypeptides. The disclosed identification of this new fusion protein enables new methods for determining the presence of these mutant ALK kinase polypeptides in a biological sample, methods for screening for compounds that inhibit the proteins, and methods for inhibiting the progression of a cancer characterized by the mutant polynucleotides or polypeptides, which are also provided by the invention.
